This performing group is our Varsity Ensemble and members are chosen by audition only. The size of the ensemble is determined by prescribed wind ensemble instrumentation with one player on a part on most instruments. Membership in this group has stringent requirements and considerable expectations. These students must:
a) Prepare the TMEA All-State audition music and perform to the highest level attainable and compete at the TMEA All District/Region Auditions.
b) A student may elect to perform a solo from memory to qualify for State Solo contest.
c) Prepare and perform a solo at UIL contest.
d) Understand that the demands on their time will be significantly higher due to increased individual practice time, difficulty of literature and expected participation in band functions. Most students can expect to practice at least 45 minutes per day outside of class or rehearsal time.
e) Step forward into the leadership roles for the band, including drum majors, section leaders, squad leaders and band officers.
f) Wind Ensemble students must be enrolled in private lessons.
General Grading Policies can be found in the Student Handbook.
